I love that you started working on the FM again

Just wanted to say, even though it's wonky and you can fly at 35 degrees AoA since last patch, at least that's a sign of life from M3!

I am a critic of the Mig-21 in general, and especially the FM.

It's been stuck for years, with bugs and subpar sounds etc.

Please, don't stop now, continue to develop the FM, this module really deserves it! You have possibly the best 3d model and cockpit together with the F-14, close the circle :thumbup:

Agreed! It says a lot that there’s a guy that literally built a whole house-sized simulators around this module. A simulator that includes a real mig 21 as a “peripheral”! That means you guys have done something special. Ninnon’s sound pack have done wonders to the experience, and Im looking forward to the FM tweaks.

According to Austrian researcher Tom Cooper, Cobra was first accidentally made by a Syrian Air Force pilot on a MiG-21 fighter in 1967, and was used by Arab pilots in air battles during the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

A high AOA maneuver and a cobra are very different. I’m sure the mind set is similar, but I would not call it a cobra

Then Tom should have a word with this boys!

They did it looong before -67!

It was in the SOP for J-35, called "Kort parad" in Swedish (eng: short prade)

The key isn't the invention of the Cobra maneuver, but the discovery that the MiG-21 could operate way past the AoA limits in the manual, and that doing so could possibly save your life in certain circumstances.

The Cobra looks cool in an air show but has little tactical use. The ability to pull a split-s at an unprecedented low altitude proved useful in combat at least one time if the report is true. But it is not a normal maneuver to use, but a last act of desperation that pushes the limits of the aircraft and pilot.

I disagree. This is done in training(you see only two seaters) to show people how to recover from an accelerated stall where small roll Input is given. If you notice they roll slightly as they pull, that’s becuase roll input during the stall creates the dramatic pitch up, and you must push the stick down before the nose raises too much to recover. Stalls are involved with cobra sure, but this only happens becuase of roll input and is a very dangerous departure far more irrecoverable then what became known as the cobra in 1989.

Being done with training to teach stall recovery, it has none of the tactical capability of the cobra and would never be done outside of training. Sure cobra is not super tactical either, but it is assumed that Sukhoi pilots are familiar enough with it with the thought that in a rare situation they might have to use it to get that last shot. Only thing Draken would shoot during that stall is it’s ejection seat if you don’t recover in time
